    Keyboard Input


    My keyboard puts in the wrong symbols for whenever I press shift. When I put shift 2 it gives me “ instead of the at symbol. I already checked and my keyboard is in the right language and with some symbols, like shift 1, it gives me the correct thing like ! and others like the comma and period are good its just when I press shift for those one. When I press shift or alt for only certain ones it gives me the wrong thing. I went on here and I did the solution to problems others were suggesting but it still didn’t give me the correct thing.

    :)
